Question

Is bleeding normal at 5 weeks? Am I miscarrying?

Share

I found out I was pregnant a little over a week ago. This is my 3rd pregnancy and my 1st two were completely problem free. I started having pretty intense back pain and some spotting which turned into more and more discharge. The discharge started out brown and has now turned to red. My doctor ordered a blood test which came back that I was indeed pregnant but the hormone levels were on the low side which could just be because I am at the start of pregnancy. I am on bed rest until Tuesday when I will have another blood test to see where my levels are then. I only seem to bleed when I use the rest room and it is not heavy but it does not appear to be stopping. Any thoughts?
